OOAL STREET. - ASSESSMENTS AND COMMISSIONERS, Continued From Firit Pag. certain cost, that cost is tho basis of actual value. Mr. Gloror took luuo on this point and made a lengthy and forcible argument. Ho claltuod tho price for which a property would soil at tbo timo of tho assessment is mado is tho basis of valuation. Ho put this quostlon, "If a man builds a houeo to suit his own fancy at a coil of $80,000 and afterwards cannot got a bid of moro than 910,000 for it, what would bo tho basis of asiessmont? Mr. Mluoguo answerod tho cost $30,000. Assessor Krick then made an illustration. If a proporty cost ?0,000 and ?13,000 is ofTorod for it, what Is tho basis? Mr. Mlnoguo looked at tho coiling, blinked, and thon lowcrod his head (aylng that is only for argumont. Mr. lCrick said ho had knowledge oi such a case. Thon Mr, Minoguo answorod, "Why, tho $13, 000.'' Mr. Glover jumpod to tho floor with a victorious grin encircling his mouth and asked, "Thon how doos your othor theory comparo with, this? You told us In tbo caeo of tho (30,000 and $10,000 house that tho cost prlco Is the basis. In tho other case you say It Is the soiling prlco? Mr. Minoguo answored, does tbo party who buys tho $0,000 proporty pay 818,000 for it? Is not that the c6Bt? Mr. Minoguo was rominded that the property was not bought for ?13,000, That was tho price oUVrcd for It. If tbo assessors know that willing purchasers valuo a proporty at $13,000 are they to take that as tho basif, or tako tht cost ?0,000? Mr. Minoguo made no direct answer to this, simply insisting on what ho had said that tho cost prico is tbo barls. He mado no answor to tho argumont that If an asiossor knows that $13,100 is offered for a proporty that Is a basis for valuation inde pendent of tho cost ; and that tho samo rulo applies whoro a $30,000 property has depreciated in tho markot to $10,000. Messrs. Boddall, Fowlor, Glovor, Hess, Lamb and Kohler made argumonts deprecating tho action of County Comm's sionors in tbo past, In breaking faith with tho borough of Shenandoah by loworing the valuation ot coal lands and certain properties after promising a joint committee of tho Council and School Board not to do so. Mr. Minoguo! "You may assess your properties as you ploaso, but the Commis sioners havo tho right of revision and may ralso or lowor the assessment as thoy eoo flu" "Thon, what Is the uio of making assess ments?" waB askod. "What is tho uso of having assoasors work night and day trying to got at a fair valuo of properties and then havo the figure cut down, or lowered, by tbo Commissioners who have, perhaps, novor soon tho proportios?" A quostlon by B, G, Beta as to whothor or not tho present Commissioners have ful filled their oaths of duty aroUsod Mr. Minoguo, who jumpod up, took his hat and coat In band, and declarod tho question was an Insulting ono and be would not answor It. Ho said he was present to pro tect tho Commissioners as well as himself and ho did propose to be insulted. Ho did not attond tho mooting to insult any ono, or ralso a fight. For a moment or two it looked as if tho Cjunty Solicitor would leave, tho room un cormoniously, but assurances that thoro was no intention to Insult any ono quiotod ma'.tors and Mr, Minoguo resumed his seat. Mr. Krick read tho oath taken by as sessors to tho ofl'oct that thoy must be guided by tho prico a proporty may bring at a bona fide sale. Mr. Minoguo referred him to Purdon's Digest and inststod that tho cost was the proper basis. Mr. Krick contended that bo, as an as sessor, considoiod his oath binding. Jamos Graut asked what a proporty, cost ing H0Q0 and depreciated In valuo by tho eroction of a scrapor lino in front of tho doors, would be worth. Mr. Minoguo mado no direct answers, but Intimated tbat perhaps there aro cases which would be exceptions to tbo rulo laid down by him.
